Speaker 3 (00:07):
Hello and welcome to Chicago Insight. I'm your host, Darryl Dennard.
Happy fourth of July. This show is all about informing
you about the institutions as well as the individuals who
are doing extraordinary things in our cities and communities. We'll
begin this morning celebrating academic achievement with Ada S McKinley's
annual Rev Sorry Trunk Show. Next, we'll learn about the

(00:28):
opening of the Edocultural and Heritage Center in Markham, and
we'll close out our discussions talking to the hosts of
the Laugh Not Least podcasts, but first up. Commemorating educational excellence.
Each year, Ada S McKinley engages in one of probably
the most uplifting events for Chicago Land. I'm talking about

(00:51):
the Rev Story Trunk Giveaway, where it gives away trunks
filled with needed resources to area students who are headed
off to college. Joining me this morning to talk about
this year's event, which is going to be one of
the biggest ever, is Venise Hardy. She is the vice
president of Educational Resources at ADA. It is a pleasure

(01:13):
Benie to welcome you to the program. Congratulations on yet
another fantastic trunk giveaway.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Well, thank you, and good morning Daryl. Thank you again
for having me on the show today. It is an
honor to be able to come on and talk to
you about one of our agencies most inspiring events, and
that is the reb Sorry Trunk Scholarship Celebration. And it's

(01:41):
happening on July seventeenth this year at the Obama Presidential Center.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
It's actually going to be the home court basketball facility.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
That is correct. This year, Hey S. McKinley Community Services
is celebrating more than one hundred and fifty young people,
many of whom are the first in their families to
go to college. Through this particular Reedy Story Trunk Scholarship program,
we're providing students with many essentials that help them to

(02:12):
make the transition from home life to dorm life. It'll
include a laptop and a trunk full of dorm and
living essentials. More importantly, these are the things that are
critical to students when they arrive on a campus. We
want them to field equipped day one for success. We

(02:32):
are investing in the future leaders of this community.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
It hearkens back to Ada's exemplary commitment to the power
of education to change lives. Of course, I'm going back
to Silas Parnell and him being responsible for literally tens
of thousands of people to attend college. Talk about that
genesis in terms of where we are today with Ada's

(02:58):
commitment to help oping families achieve a higher education.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Well as McKinley, for more than sixty years, this particular
program has successfully placed over seventy five thousand young people.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
In over seventy five thousand.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Seventy five thousand more than seventy five thousand young people
and more than four hundred colleges and universities and trade
schools across the country. And again this has been happening
since the nineteen sixties. Currently, we service more than seventeen
hundred students at ten Chicago public schools, and to date,

(03:40):
this particular college placement program has successfully collaborated with our
CPS partners to help students to secure thirty one million
dollars in scholarships. And so the legacy lives on, and
it is alive and well on the South Side of Chicago.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And there is a wonder full aspect of holding it
at the Obama Presidential Center because it's literally right across
the street from one of the participating high schools that
you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Tell us about that absolutely.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
So it is particularly significant simply because the Obama Center
is a place that represents leadership, hope, opportunity, community investment.
But even in that significant moment and acknowledgment, we also
have to acknowledge it right across the street. High Park

(04:36):
Career Academy is one of our target schools that is
a place where students receive intensive one to one college
place mccounseling, academic advising, financial aid services, career exploration, opportunities
to visit post secondary colleges and universities throughout the state.

(04:59):
They receive these services from an S. McKinley's educational specialists.
And it is a full circle moment because these students
receive these services beginning freshman year all the way to
senior year, and now they have their dreams realized of
being able to pursue a post secondary education. Many of
them are on full rides, meaning that all of their

(05:21):
expenses are covered and they will be receiving a scholarship,
a Trunck scholarship from the same organization that was instrumental
in their process at the Obama Center right across the street.
So it's a culmination of all their hard work that
they put into getting into this moment and to have
it being celebrated at a place that represents, as I

(05:45):
said before, civic engagement, leadership and hope above all is
just phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
So you have a special honoory this year. I've had
the ability of in terms of serving as Master of
Ceremonies for several years. Talk about this year's event itself.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Well, this year's event will be hosted July seventeenth at
the Presidential Center, the home court of the Obama Presidential Center.
Our keynote speaker is Maidi Hamilton. She is the CEO
of Greater Chicago. She is receiving the Legacy Award. And
what makes this a special to us is that she

(06:22):
is also an Ada S.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
McKinley alum.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
So these same services that I talked about that these
students received the same type of guidance, the same type
of one on one kind of support. Maiti received that
many many years ago, and they were instrumental in her
helping to achieve the success that she has achieved today.
While this is an event that is reserved for our students,

(06:48):
our families, and our sponsors and some special guests, it
is important to know that you can still contribute to
making this event special by choosing to make donate or
become a part of our mentoring to students. If you
are on Ada S McKinley alone, what.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Is the best way for people to support this wonderful
effort that has such an extraordinary track record.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
You can visit adasmckinley dot org and you can click donate.
You can also visit our website to learn more about
the programs that not only educational services provides, but all
of the numerous other services that the agency as a
whole provides in terms of our behavior and mental health services,

(07:35):
our foster care services, and a just a wealth of
social services that this agency provides. We believe in holistically
servicing the community and the families.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
And you do it.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
You know it's such a plumb but does it mean
personally for you, Benisa, in terms of when you look
at those families that are watching one of their first
children go off to college, it brings tears to my
eyes when I think about just how extraordinary. The feeling
is when you see them walk across the stage to

(08:08):
pick up these loaded trunks with valuable, important tools and
a tool chest for them to succeed in college.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Well, Darryl, the feeling is indescribable. It really takes me
back to my own journey as well. I too am
an Ada S McKinley alone, and so I can remember
many years ago going to Cigus Purnell's office, a first
generation student, very unsure about the process, very unsure about

(08:39):
what the world or the had to offer me or
my future path. I remember walking into that office feeling insecure, unsured,
and walking out feeling empowered. So when I see these
students and they and their families come across the stage,
it's a full circle moment because I'm reminded of similar

(09:00):
stories when students came into our office or we came
into their schools, and they was uncertain about what their
future could hold, and then to see them four years
later become dynamic speakers and advocates for themselves and now
on the way to pursuing a future that they maybe

(09:22):
did not imagine was possible just four years prior to
walking on that stage, and then to see the adolation
from the parents, who are also equally excited. These trunks
symbolize more than just the material things that the students receive.
They are symbolic of hope, of promise, the changing of

(09:46):
a trajectory of an entire family, and their belief in
what is possible.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
We believe, and once again give us that website so
we can help in this extraordinary work.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
It is ww dot ata, s mckimley dot org.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Go there and be encouraged. Anie. We truly appreciate you
joining us this morning. Nothing but the best for you.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Thank you so much, and I look forward to being
able to come on and talk about future opportunities that
we have with students that we are servicing on the
South Side of Chicago, and with the other opportunities that
ads McKinley has for the citizens of Chicago. And so
thank you so much. I certainly appreciate the opportunity.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Sounds good. Take care now you too. In less than
two weeks, a new day will dawn for Chicago's Idol
community with the official opening of the Kube Orrington Cultural
Heritage Center and Markham joining me this one to discuss
This milestone event is Friday, Igignova, who is president of
Kobe Orrington and it's former president Jim Otokti. Gentlemen, it's

(10:51):
a pleasure to welcome you to the program and congratulations
on the grand opening.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Thank you, thank you so much, thank you. Thank you. There.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Friday and president and Jim, you are the past president,
describe what this facility is and what does it mean
for the local ido community.

Speaker 7 (11:09):
I will let Jim take it a little now, go ahead, Jim,
thanks for having us this morning there.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's really a pleasure to be on your show.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
A door community.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's a very unique community back home in Modelne, Nigeria,
and when people before us got here. This organization was
actually founded in nineteen seventy nine wow, to pretty much
give a heaping hand to each other when the need arises. However,

(11:47):
over the years it has grown beyond helping each other
to spreading out to the community that we find ourselves
and the asparam So at the stage, we were having
this meeting monthly meeting in each other's apartment, hosting, taking

(12:08):
a turn and hosting each other. And after that we
purchased the house on two ten eight sixty ninth Street.
Then we decided to go into more community based activities
such as doing back to school, giving backpacks.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
And school attending.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
One of those particular back to school functions is extraordinary.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Yeah, Karama building.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
So we've been doing that, and then we found ourselves
in a situation where we believe that we need along
with giving back to school and cleaning the community, we
need to start impacting our cultural heritage on the younger
ones and our brethren, the African the African American community.

(13:03):
So we decided to go ahead and explore a cultural
and heritage center and Lord and behold, we found this
property in Markam and we did a major rehab and
now it's time to open it up like a museum
where we would have all the active flats from the

(13:28):
Due Nation part see it's called the Beneathkingdom. Then Kingdom
is part of the Due Nation in Nigeria, So we
have all the active fats and ship them here. Most
of us have a lot of them, and then we
have to ship the lot from there to here and
have them on displays and then start teaching our younger

(13:51):
ones and everybody that's interested about the culture, because we
believe that with education you have to have impact culture
in children. So that's where we are today. We've got
this building and is conceived about four hundred to four

(14:11):
hundred and fifty and with a museum, and we're getting
ready to at least launch it come Saturday July eighteen,
twenty twenty six, and.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
We want to tell people that it's located at one
five four hundred Kenzie Avenue and mark as Jim just said,
it's taking place on Saturday, July eighteenth at two pm
fri out. Just how large is the adult community here
in Chicago Land.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
I can say, you know, I mean where I would
say maybe anywhere from Roughery maybe what five to ten
thousand of us you know, those from Benicity in a
door and just to be as that on the location
where the building is located, it's the size of six

(15:02):
thousand square footage. How that is how huge the facility
is the programs that we're going to be really conducting
that it's not just only for people ori community from Benicity, Africa, Nigeria,
It's also going to be a comprises of you know, Africa,

(15:23):
American and as you know, our children are growing up
he actuality, have friends, you know, and everybody welcome to
their facility so take a look at what we have
from model Lane.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah, and it is our motherland for Black Americans. And
the thing that is is just I find unique is
just how close knit the community is, but also it's expanding.
I look at you know, so many second and third
generation now people from the African continent that have arrived here,

(15:58):
an established family list, and they're doing extraordinary things because
within that particular community is a major focus on two things,
family and education.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
Is this the case? That's that's right?

Speaker 7 (16:13):
You know, I'm glad that you mentioned that. What we
have been able to do with our children and our
children of American born American African UH descent, what we
have been able to do is we try to you know,
and you know right from you know, what do you
call it? Are you once they come out of your

(16:35):
own we want to just let your don your first
priority is education.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
Education is what you have and nobody can take away
from you.

Speaker 7 (16:44):
And thank God Almighty that our children they cannot listen
to that.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
And what when.

Speaker 7 (16:52):
You like, I went in the jail, like you know,
years ago, and like and when you go in there,
you don't really see African uh. You know, let me
say be de same theater in the jail because they
are focused. They know what they want because of what
the family, their parents, you know, and histic you know,

(17:14):
embedded in them.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
You know, Jim, you.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
Want to take you know, a little bit of take
a little shot on this, Jim.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, I think pretty much that's always been something that's
passed from generation to generation. I came to the United
States when I was barely twenty years old, so I
mean my sixties. I came for the purpose of education,
and that's what my parents sold me. Without education, you

(17:44):
are nowhere. So it's something that's always been part of us.
The same thing I'm doing my best to pass on
to my children. Hey, young fellows, I don't have anything
to leave for you. The only thing I have is
your education. And we do our best to make the

(18:07):
children go to school with our loans. To look at
the most African community, especially in Nigerians, both parents will
strive so hard to endeavor that the children doesn't seek
your loans even if they do has to be minimum.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, So education, education, education, We do our stress.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
Yes, and in a couporting in a couborating development association,
what we do do is we try to focus on
all our children. You know, like like you said, as president,
Jim child is my child. At the end of the year,
we have what you call giving back to students and

(18:49):
whereby we bring all the kids together a pretty much
they all compete among themselves when they see let's say
they're all the nineties.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
You are one of our you know members, and your.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
Child is going to be a doctor, and my child
would be want to emulate your child, you know she
he or she is going to Yeah.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
Like as you know, my son went to Princeton. You know,
it's like every other kids now they are inspire to
go to prince.

Speaker 7 (19:18):
As away and jam jiam daughter we just had a
you know, just had a graduation last week.

Speaker 6 (19:24):
And you know we went. We all went today, about
two hundred of us to go.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
And place with her. Let her know what it is
all about. Encouragements. So that is what we did do
in a accaborating community. And that is what all this
cultural heritage, you know stands for tepping people in our community,
trying to inspire them to know what is right and

(19:49):
what is wrong.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Well, if you want to learn more about the fantastic
virtues that exists with the Acuba Ori tend community here
in Chicago. Make plan to attend and find out more
about the Ado Community Cultural Heritage Center that is opening
on Saturday, July eighteenth at two pm and Markham one

(20:12):
five four hundredth Kenzie Avenue. I want to thank Jim
and Friday for joining us this morning. Nothing but the
best of the wealth of you.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
Thank you so much. I appreciate that it.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Goes without saying that these are difficult times we're going through. Well,
life seems heavy. Laughter can lighten the load. My next
guest knows something about that. He's mc jin, a trailblazing rapper,
actor comedian best known for his performances on be ET's
Freestyle Fridays, as well as several roles in movies including
The Best and Furious Too. He's also the host of

(20:45):
the podcast Laugh But Not Least Jin.

Speaker 8 (20:48):
Welcome to the program, Darryl, good morning, Good morning, and
blessings to you.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Thank you for having me man.

Speaker 8 (20:56):
It's always overwhelmingly endearing when you hear people kind of
introduce you and kind of recap your life in thirty seconds.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Well, it's a life that has extraordinary elements. You are
the host of the podcast Laugh But Not least, but
you're also the first Asian American solo rappers signed to
a major record label in the United States. And when
I think of you in the podcast, I think about
two universal elements, laughter and hip hop. You're a unique

(21:25):
combination of both.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
Wow, thank you for that, Thank you, thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (21:30):
I think there has definitely been intersection between the two
all the way back to my childhood quite quite frankly,
And you know, these things become more apparent to me
the further along I go, not only in the podcast journey,
but even in the life journey. Right, I'm a for
lack of better words, I'm a middle I don't know
what is. I've been trying to figure out. I guess

(21:51):
you could google this too. But when do you officially
step into middle aged them? I would think it'd be
around forty to fifty, right, Is that is that kind of.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
The ball bar.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
It's definitely forty to fifty.

Speaker 8 (22:02):
Okay, So I'm in that range for sure. I qualify
for the middle aged card. And I think it is
in this particular season of life where you know, you
do more reflecting and to what you just said, the
hip hop component, I mean that's been with me since
probably fifteen. Fifteen is when I had the clearest day

(22:23):
vision for my life path, and that was I would
be married to the microphone. I mean, at fifteen, the
aspirations are a little more superficial.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
We'll put it like that. I just want to be
a rap star.

Speaker 8 (22:33):
Right at fifteen, I was dead set on being a
rap star, and sure as day. I mean, I think
the laughter component it definitely was present right away, because
when I told my mom and dad, oh, yeah, I
want to be they had to left.

Speaker 9 (22:46):
They left, say you're crazy, And I don't even know
if it was a endearing laugh. It might have been
more of like a maniacal laugh combined with a like
a yeah, you think you're going to do this rap
thing and not go off the college. So so anyway,
the point is, it's been cool to watch the rap
journey unfold, like as you mentioned before, getting signed and

(23:09):
having a chance to watch my childhood dream come true
at the age of nineteen, and it was I think
at the time, it didn't dawn on me what it
meant to me, and more importantly, I don't think it
dawned on me at all what it meant to anybody
that was watching it unfold now, whether that's just the
general rap community, hip hop community, and if we unpack

(23:31):
it more, I mean, when you break it down to
you kind of touched on it earlier, to the whole
Asian American component. I definitely I was aware of it,
but I don't think it really dawned on me what
that meant.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
And I found it to Nigga went by.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah, in terms of Asia actually being one of the
first continents to fully embrace hip hop, I remember, you know,
when I would look and I'm going back in the
days when yes certainly started to permeate, and I'm like,
look at these cats, you know in very you know,
kind of monolithic society because you know, in Asia, whether

(24:08):
China or Japan, the overwhelming population looks a certain way.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Yes, but I.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Said, but yet they're putting on you know, they're putting
on all of the hip hop gear.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
And I said, and buying.

Speaker 8 (24:21):
The record and buying the records, and I said that
you know, this is this is.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
This is wonderfully encouraging that culture transcends ethnicity.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (24:33):
I think what's cool is, you know, again, having had
the tenure that I've had in the not only just
the music industry, but also within the elements.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
Of hip hop.

Speaker 8 (24:43):
I think I'm confident to say that I've watched the
growth of it, you know, from my own POV and
even to what you just said about, you know, like
the perception of Asia, like you know, people think at
least when I was a kid, yes, growing not only
just growing up, being born and raised here in America.
I've certainly experienced firsthand the idea that, yo, you guys

(25:05):
are all the same, right, Like like like when people
be like, where you from, Oh, my family's from, you know,
from from Hong Kong, right, and they're like, oh, yeah,
Hong Kong, career is all the same. I'm like, no,
like like the and they would be levels to the
I guess kind of the obliviousness, so to speak, right,
And I try to show grace because I think it's
just a matter of.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
I don't want to use the word ignorance.

Speaker 8 (25:27):
I think it's just a matter of a knowing, right,
just not knowing so nobody lack of yeah, lack of exposure.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Correct. So they're they're they're they're grouping.

Speaker 8 (25:37):
What's really a diverse and rich if we're talking about
the continent of Asia, very diverse, rich continent with so
like endless amounts of history culture. But yes, I think
to the outside view looking in, no, you're all all
the same. Now, what's beautiful to me about hip hop?
As the years have gone by, and especially here in
modern you know, twenty twenty six, let's say, I think

(26:00):
hip hop has also allowed these different cultures.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
To shine too.

Speaker 8 (26:04):
So if you look at hip hop in Japan, hip
hop in Korea, in China, as you mentioned, which has been.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
Booming in the last ten years.

Speaker 8 (26:11):
I don't want to say it started to exist, but
for sure in twenty seventeen it was a critical year
because I always remember twenty seventeen because it was a
year that I kind of first stepped into you know,
the broader mainland China.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Let's just say, hip hop sphere.

Speaker 8 (26:28):
And there was a show there called Rap of China,
and that Rap of China show, I would say, is
the catalyst for a whole new chapter of hip hop
in China, specifically in China.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
So it's been cool to see and you know.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
And back again to the pod, just laughing my way
through all of it, right, laughing as and like being
able to laugh at kind of some of the stuff
that is humorous and then some of the more challenging
aspects of it being able to laugh through through those
moments as well for me my own personal journey.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
What do you think that listeners will receive most from
listening to the podcast?

Speaker 8 (27:05):
Although I think when I set out on it, I
had a very heavy emphasis on the laughter component, which
I think it is still the case as I've started
and now we're underway and I'm speaking with more people,
I would like to think and I do believe that
there's a lot of insight that actually is not only
just sprinkled throughout. I think there's a lot of insight

(27:26):
just like intertwined with it because I think, you know,
for myself and even with the various guests that I
have spoken to, what I wanted to peel back and
kind of like explore was man through those heartaches and
through those less than ideal times, Like how did you
navigate it? And it's not even like every single time

(27:48):
that someone navigates through it with laughter? But I think
the case is even if in the moment they weren't
navigating it with laughter, I think the idea is now
that time has passed, whether it was five years ago,
ten years ago, or two months ago, whatever the circumstance is,
like the ability to look back and have a chuckle
about it. And even in that case, I remember chatting
with someone and saying, so.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Are you able to look back and laugh on it?

Speaker 8 (28:09):
And the person without without hesitation and did not that deny.
I said, no, I can't. So maybe they haven't, they
haven't gotten to that yet, or maybe they never will.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
And I think that's also something I wanted to or not. Actually,
what I'm discovering is that that is the reality.

Speaker 8 (28:26):
There are certain things that maybe transpire in life that
you know you're not able to look back and laugh on,
which is fine too. I think that's the thing. So
a lot of insight kind of also intertwined with the
idea of laughter.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
What did you consider to be the defining moment that
you were on the right track with the podcast.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
WHOA So Good?

Speaker 8 (28:51):
I'm always I think with this conversation with you, it
is something I've also been learning through this podcast experience.
I tend to overthink, sometimes beneficially, and sometimes it ends
up being like a counterproductive type of overthinking. So to

(29:13):
your question, I think, what has been the moment where
I was like, hey, this is it is when even
in the midst of overthinking everything, I did feel a heavy,
heavy sense of like, if no one else resonates with
this particular theme or this particular direction that I'm going,

(29:38):
at least I know that it resonates with me, because
I think leading up to where we ultimately ended up
going direction wise, I explored like a million different directions, right, themes, topics,
just potential ideologies that I wanted to highlight within the podcast,
whether it was the name, whether it was the conversation.

(30:00):
But once I landed on the idea of like, hey,
how do we find something that speaks to you jin
and use that as the anchor, I think laughter just jumped.

Speaker 5 (30:09):
Out right away. And it could be a combination of things.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
It could be as we've been talking about since we
started talking, the overall journey combined.

all these hats that I wear, you have the wrapper,
